Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia.

And so I continue my journey to the end of the surname alphabet, knowing when the journey ends I will simply return to my starting point and begin again.

But, in the meantime, what information treasures will we discover together picking through the Hennepin County Jailhouse Roster....

Riccardo NMN Sanchez, DOB 1/12/73, was arrested upon an allegation of Fifth Degree Drug Possession, i.e. "not small amount" of marijuana. He was, however, released to Cass County over some other felony charge. Sanchez has an address listed of 5021 Russell Ave. N., which is a homestead owned by Gregory A. Hantz of the same address.

Sanchez has been charged with a variety of crimes, and here is the list from online court records, not all of these representing convictions, but some of them do.

Evette Shannon Scott, DOB 10/23/77, was arrested for alleged prostitution in a public place. Her address is listed as 3334 Knox Ave. N., a home owned by Marquita Clardy of the same address. I looked up Clardy's online records and she's an upstanding citizen except for one regrettable "passing an emergency vehicle" incident.

Scott's records, in contrast, show a laundry list of minor charges and a previous conviction for prostitution. She has a probation violation hearing scheduled for TOMORROW on that old charge.

Tedros NMN Semere, DOB 4/11/84 wins the "jail nuggets short bus award" for being charged with "presenting a weapon at a security screening area." Before you think this was a guy who forgot his nail clippers in his pocket, be aware he's also charged with carrying a pistol without a permit. This incident happened at the airport, as evidenced by the fact the charging authority is the airport PD.

Semere, who is so dumb he's lucky to have any roof over his head, reportedly lives at 906 Emerson Ave. N., a home owned by Lula Haile.

Semere's criminal record shows nothing more than two minor drinking convictions in Blue Earth county. I'm guessing now that Semere is old enough to drink, he's definitely hitting the sauce.

Rafee Bilal Shaka, DOB 4/6/85, is sitting in jail for lack of $50,000 bail on a charge of 3rd Degree Criminal sexual conduct, force or coercion, and has a mental health court hold as well.

Shaka's address is 1101 Queen Ave. N., a house owned by somebody with the same surname, so almost certainly a family member.

Russell John Skinaway, DOB 6/1/78, is formally charged with forgery but released on no bail, which is good, because that way nobody has to accept a check from Skinaway for bail. He was also arrested on 5th Degree drugs, "possess, procure, control by fraud or deceit" so I am assuming this to be some kind of (alleged) fraudulent prescription circumstances.
